i am trying to rebuild my dana44(it is a thirdgen rear, same thing they put in the original firehawks). it was a good rear but i wanna put more gear in it.
i can't seem to get the pinion nut to budge though.
i have tried heating it and i don't have access to any great air tools.
anything anyone can suggest woudl be a help

thanks

Need a big impact or a long pipe on a breaker bar - them things are tight..

And you'll also need a long wrench to hold the pinion if you use a breaker bar on the nut.

still no luck getting this thing apart. i have done a bunch of rears, but never one that has been together for 9 years, i guess the nut decided it was home and wants to stay.
i am gonna have to drag it to my friends shop and hit it with some high powered air weapons.
thanks for teh advice.

later
